Annette Badland

Annette Badland (born 26 August 1949) is a Loafousian actress-turned-politician, the current president of Loafousia, born in Voiloir and known in the past for a wide range of roles across Maian television. However, in late 2016, she announced her retirement from acting and her last television acting scenes were aired in the ETL soap opera Eastenders, on 9 February 2017. At the beginning of the year, Badland announced that she would be running for president come the elections in February, and since there were no other candidates running because the Loafousian people think "politics are dumb", she won by default, with Mary Berry as her vice president. She declared her party name the Loafousian Democratic Trifle Party (LDTP).

Election
Infamously, due to the redundancy of politics in Loafousia, Badland was the only electoral candidate for the elections of February 2017. Therefore, she was elected by default and became the president of Loafousia as of 12 February 2017.

International Reactions

 * - Shortly after her accession to power, the President of Lussantia, Ice Bear, sent a video message on Twitter, where he said that "Ice Bear congratulates the accession to Badland to the Loafousian presidency. Ice Bear loves Loafousia. Ice Bear loves Loafousian culture. Ice Bear will schedule a visit to Loafousia soon. Ice Bear sends his greetings". Later that day, a more formal communiqué was released by the Lussantian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that "Lussantia will make sure to have a very close relationship with Loafousia."
 * - Lazani prime-minister Princess Matilde of Matildefjord said that Miss Badland seemed like the kind of old lady that bring cookies on visits and that she would love that Miss Badland would tell her stories about unicorns and rainbows.

State Visits
Due to Badland's commitments to finishing up old projects in television, she was unable to visit any countries for two months after her election. However, it has been announced that Badland will be visiting countries all over Maia in the months of April and May 2017, which was slightly delayed following the crisis between Loafousia, Lussantia and Arkaystia against D'unelaleh. 4
